Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for general ions on library shelves before il was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
Il has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often diflicult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parlies, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the plus We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a b<x>k is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means il can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

ROGERS, Tfl.fi. X.
The family of Rogers claim to be
descended from Count de Rogier, who
came to England with William the Con-
queror. A branch of the family settled in
the north of Ireland, of which was James
Rogers, who came from Londonderry in
1718 and settled in New Hampshire, where
the family became the holders of a large
tract of land. He was accidentally killed
by a hunter who mistook him for a bear.
He m. Mary McFatridge, and had issue,
viz. :
I. — Samuel, of Dunbarton, New Hamp-
shire.
—(Major) Robert, b. 1724, d. unm. 1784, who in 1755 organ-
ized a company of scouts for service in the war between
the English and French, from which corps was developed
the famous Rangers, variously known as " Rogers' Ran-
gers," the Queen's Rangers and the King's Rangers, whose
extraordinary services under his command during the war
which resulted in Canada becoming part of the British
Empire, and again, after having been for a time disbanded,
under Col. Simcoe (subsequently first Lieutenant-Governor
of Upper Canada) in the American Revolutionary War,
are matters of history, which it is beyond the scope of the
present work to follow ; it may, however, be not out of
place to note that to Major Rogers, with 200 of the Rangers,
was committed the duty of taking possession of the
western posts of the French after the capitulation of
Quebec and Montreal, in which service he was the first
British officer to occupy Toronto, where he landed on 30th
Sept. 1760, near the mouth of the Toronto River (the
Humber) at the French Fort, then bearing the same name,
but sometimes known as Fort Rouille, the site of which
is marked by a monument in the Exhibition Park.

of which is still in possession of the. descend-
ants. The first settlers in Canada, who were
staunch loyalists, were four sons of Asa Burn-

by about 250 or 300 men of the Six Nations (see Brant), and being
warned by Laura Secord (see Secord) of an intended attack by the
Americans, made such an adroit disposition of his men, and managed
them so skilfully, that he led the enemy to believe that they had been
26
surrounded by a superior force, and taking advantage of their con-
fusion, with " cool effrontery " demanded and secured their surrender;
the Americans, after losing 56 killed and wounded, surrendered 554,

SECORD, THJ6.X.
THE family of Secord, formerly de Secor, derive descent from
an ancient and noble family of La Rochelle, in France. A
Marquis de Secor was an officer of the household of Louis X.
His descendants and others of his family became Huguenots, and
in consequence, during the persecution of the Huguenots, lost their
estates ; some of them lost their lives, and others escaped to England.
Eventually some of the family emigrated to America and settled at
New Rochelle in New Jersey. In the Revolutionary War many of
the family adhered to the Crown, and at the conclusion of the war
settled chiefly in Upper Canada, but some in New Brunswick. The
rolls of Butler's Rangers contained the following names of Secords :
John senior, John junior, Stephen, David, Peter, Silas and Solomon,
all members of the same family, but the relationship and identity
of all of them cannot now be determined.
Peter Secord, presumably the one just named, is said to have
been engaged with others of the family in the erection of mills near
Niagara, probably at St. David's, and afterwards to have settled at
Long Point on Lake Erie. Of John Secord, see below, e. Four of

CHADWICK.
THE family of Chad wick, of which there are numerous branches,
had their origin from Chadwick near Rochdale, Co. Lancaster,
Eng., where it is said that the main branch of the family, which ter-
minated in 1722, on the death unm. of Sarah Chadwick, a sole
heiress, was seated from temp. William I., it being asserted, though
the statement is unauthenticated and perhaps mythical, to have com-
menced with Ceadda, a Saxon Thane who retained his lands after
the Conquest by becoming the vassal of a Norman Baron,* and
whose " wick " or hamlet, Chadda's wyck, gave origin to the name,
anciently Chaddewyk.f
The Canadian family derives descent from that of Ballinard,
Co. Tipperary, Ire., established there by a gentleman from Co. York,
Eng., who according to an old family tradition is said to have
married a ward in Chancery in England, named Grace Goggin, with-
out 1 he permission of the Court, and escaped out of the jurisdiction
with his wife concealed in a sack. He is supposed to have been the
father of
Richard Chadwick, of Ballinard, who m. Mary Baker, and
d.s.p. cir. 1720, and of William, of Ballinard, who m. cir. 1675,
Elizabeth, dau. of William GabbettJ of Caherline [Arms : Gu., a
griffin segreant or, holding a banner flying to the dexter atrg.,
charged with an imperial two-headed eagle displayed sa.],and had
issue, viz. :
William, d. 1748, of Gurthakilleen, Co. Limerick, who m. Jane
Greene, d. Sept. 1779, of the family of Greene of Kilmanahan, Co.
• Named or styled de Rochdale. It is remarkable that the Arms of Chadwick are identical
with those of the Borough of Rochdale (as formerly borne), and of the family of Rashdale, but
with change of tincture, a usual indicatioq of vassalage.
f A curious survival of this form of the, name, although disused for more than three centuries,
was brought to the notice of the author. A Professor Chadwick came from Philadelphia to Canada
as a U.E.L., who although using the modern mode of spelling, pronounced his name in the trisyl-
labic form.

children, a son and a daughter, over to
Holland, and they afterwards joined
him in London. He subsequently
